The Oblongs

Premise: A clever comic parable of society's ills, ``The Oblongs'' depicts the warped world of a bizarre yet loving family of have-nots who live in a toxic valley and can't seem to beat the caste system of the beautiful people living high on the hill. The animated series is based on characters created by author Angus Oblong (``Creepy Susie and 13 Other Tragic Tales for Troubled Children'').
